The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago book review
David M. Gitlitz and Linda Kay Davidson describe the 1,000-year-old pilgrimage route to Galicia's capital, which is one of only three Catholic "holy cities" (together with Jerusalem and Rome).

Galicia's most famous spa has served up therapeutic mineral waters for drinking and soaking since 1873. Today, its facilities include a "Palace of Water" and an 18-hole golf course.
